Ingredients

• 2 pounds bone-in beef chuck roast
• 1 large yellow onion
• 4 medium carrots
• 3 medium potatoes
• 2 medium celery stalks
• 4 large garlic cloves
• 1 14-ounce can crushed tomatoes
• 4 cups beef broth
• 1 cup red wine
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper, then lightly dredge it in the all-purpose flour.

Step 3

Sear the beef in the hot skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms. Remove from the skillet and transfer to a large slow cooker or Dutch oven.

Step 4

Dice the onion, carrots, celery, and potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

In the same skillet, sauté the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic for 5 minutes until softened and fragrant. Pour the mixture over the beef in the slow cooker or Dutch oven.

Step 6

Add the diced potatoes, crushed tomatoes, bay leaves, dried thyme, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper to the pot.

Step 7

Pour the beef broth and red wine over the ingredients until fully immersed. Stir gently to combine.

Step 8

If using a slow cooker, set it to low and cook for 6-8 hours, or 3-4 hours on high. If using a Dutch oven, preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C), cover with a lid, and cook for 2-3 hours.

Step 9

Once done, remove the bay leaves and discard.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm with crusty bread or over rice for a hearty meal.
